Not much to say about myself. I'm fat, middle aged, and work with data. For fun I beat up defenseless pine boards with kicks and punches. Since this challenge appears to be a tradition, if someone decides to post a screenshot of this I will post a video of me breaking two boards with a one inch punch.
No need, using the cybertruck off road, or in the rain, or on any slope great then 1° is enough to break it.
#1 I love my QA team. They've saved me from myself so many times.
Kimball and Inmon are both pioneers when it comes to data warehousing. Bill Inmon introduced the data warehouse concept with data normalization, separate tables to handle different identifiers. Ralph Kimball's approach is the Star Schema, heavy on the denormalization with a ton of repeated data. It's also possible to have both methods simultaneously. Kimball's book "The Data Warehouse Toolkit" is as close to a bible as I'll ever read. I could literally talk about this stuff for hours!
Case in point, I was chatting with a theoretical chemist about his data. Apparently it's around 1.3t rows against ~500 fields. A decently large dataset, around 700TB. But it takes almost an entire day to parse through a scenario! I started salivating just thinking of all the different ways we could store and process the data. Caching aggregates and partitioning on descrete elements might add to the size of the data, but would likely drop the runtime by over 90%.
What's really crazy is that we're going almost full circle. Up to around 2010 data modeling and BI was a purely IT function, but then someone had the bright idea of making it all "self-service". The moneybags loved it since IT had less to do, but now either the analyses are flawed or take significantly longer to do. The statisticians don't know data modeling (ever hear of Kimball or Inmon?), and us data guys have trouble doing simple linear regressions. Now we're going back, working together.
Someone's giving away free drugs? Where? Do they have Adderall?
I started as the guy that preps and provides the data for analysts. Let's say you have a manufacturing company. Each machine outputs data. You've got sales data, employment data, various cost centers, facilities, and so on. My job would be to collect all of that data into a warehouse with logical joins between the areas. Then I add additional calculated logic on top, like rolling totals or margins. At the end of the day the analyst can just pull desired fields to get their data.
It is for me, but mostly because it has native integration with the analytics software I use. My background is data modeling, but I'm branching out more.
Are you using Jupyter Notebooks for the visuals?
They don't even bother any more, now they wear AR-15 pins in support of the poor gun manufacturers.
They're not allowed to do it. The FTC considers it deceptive. https://www.uschamber.com/co/grow/marketing/sale-and-discount-pricing-regulations but the thumb up their ass is more important than enforcement. So good luck.
The people that downvote this while upvoting identical posts when Palestinians die are hypocrites. When the media twist the situation and minimize the actual event it only serves to further the hatred. Israeli or Palestinain, no violent death should be reported like this.
#5 holy shit. I'm surprised he isn't sinking into the sand with his giant balls. He obviously knows what he's doing but I keep wondering how many others are called Lefty after doing that with the wrong pier.
#1 at least he doesn't have an iron deficiency.
I don't know what type of scientist you are, but keeping a brain and nervous system in a mug, and then growing a tree on them, sorta puts you in the insane evil genius camp. What's your plan, eh? A vast army of mug tree brains?
I love fernet, but never had the chance to try Malort. Is it similar? There's the classic Fernet Branca, but have you tried Fernet Vallet?
Yeah, my lens have those, transitions, progressives, and prisms. They cost around twelve - fifteen times what my kids' lenses cost. I can't even wear contacts because of the diplopia.
It's not too hard to convert images from one format to another. One off you can use paint or some other image tool. If you need to do this regularly you could write a script to do it. Message me and I'll send you the python script I wrote - you give it a folder and it will convert any image it finds into PNG.
It's exactly like that in a lot of professions. If someone looks like they're doing fuck-all but their area of responsibility is running smoothly then you're just not seeing exactly what they're doing.
His actions during and before the pandemic directly led to over a million deaths in the US, almost 0.4% of the entire population. Undermining experts, promoting ineffective quackery, encouraging vaccine hesitancy, and blatantly delaying vital equipment and supplies. He's responsible for countless broken families, infinite heartache. He gouged a festering wound, it took Biden's entire term to fix only some of the damage. The rot remains and may take decades to remove. Better off? Fuck that.
And roaches and ants and termites and silverfish. I've seen a couple of jumping spiders in my apartment and make sure to avoid cleaning their nests. Spiders are awesome.
To be a bit more clear, in the question "who is that?" the subject of the question is answered with a "he". "He" is doing the "that". "Who ate all the dog food?" "It's just John, he ate all the dog food". John is the one who pigged out, so the answer is "he". When answering with "him" or "her", and the question being whom, the object pronoun receives the action. "From whom did John take the bowl?" "From her! John stole Buttercup's bowl of dog food!"
"it's just he" is actually grammatically correct here, even though it sounds awkward.
#8 if the question can be answered with "him" you can use "whom".
There appears to be a great deal of confusion here. If a physical book is returned to Amazon, the author won't be charged. The publisher is responsible for the printing and has assumed the risk. Depending on the contract the author has already received payment for all the books printed, or received the royalties when they were purchased by the retailer. This story is talking about ebooks "published" by Amazon. Since there's no physical product, there is no risk to Amazon - only to the author.
No matter how much you want to, no matter how cute the ears, don't pet the spicy kitty. Do not pet spicy kitty.
